Audubon Aquarium of the Americas

New Orleans' state-of-the-art Audubon Aquarium, situated on the
banks of the Mississippi River, is regarded as the best in America
with highly entertaining exhibits. Underwater tunnels allow
visitors to marvel at a Caribbean Reef and a re-creation of the
Gulf of Mexico, complete with sharks. There is also a walk-through
Amazon rainforest and an exhibit displaying the inside story of
swamp life. The Aquarium features every type of aquatic creature
from jellyfish and sea horses to sea otters and penguins. The
Aquarium's 'sister' attraction, also run by the Audubon Institute,
is the excellent New Orleans city zoo, situated in Audubon Park
further uptown.
